Upgraded - Vietnam and Angkor

The tour leader made the tour special. She was extremely knowledgable, shared information in an interesting and stimulating way and gave clear details of the itinerary each day so everything went smoothly.

The leader makes the tour and Tien is the Very Best ! Her professional years of experience and knowledge really shine through. You are part of her family and she will do what it takes to make your tour the most rewarding it can be for you. Any special needs you might have, she's there to make it happen. The experiences were varied and interesting from junk boat cruise to an hour tour in a rickshaw. The local guides and drivers did their jobs well as professionals. Siem Reap was very hot and some of the members were not really prepared for it. But water was always available on the bus so everyone could keep hydrated. I enjoyed the temple sunset and especially the optional sunrise at Angkor Wat. This is my first tour in more than 30 years and my first with Explore. I enjoyed it greatly and I've made some new life long friends. I'm looking forward to my next tour and the high standard that this one has set.

A fantastic tour of Vietnam and Cambodia. Very diverse visits from local farmers and Temples. All in all the group and especially the Tour guide (Theo) were excellent and got on so well. We were very tired the last few days of the Tour due to early mornings and long days. I would definitely recommend the upgraded tour for Vietnam as we wouldn't have liked to travel the length of this country by coach or train. Hotels were good.

Explore provide very good guides who look after you and are very knowledgeable about their country. The itinerary is always well planned with good hotels plus some trips have home stays which are always very interesting.

Very enjoyable trip. Really hectic but saw so many sights in 14 days. I would have liked to spend 2 nights on the junk. 1 wasn't enough. Our guide looked after everyone very well
